bdist_docker

Distutils extension command to build docker images for python applications.

Installation

First install bdist_docker

$ pip install bdist_docker

How to use

First you need to create a dockerfile, for example

FROM ubuntu:14.04

EXPOSE 8080

RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install python3-pip python3

ADD .docker_data /data
RUN pip3 install --no-index --find-links=/data/wheelhouse /data/dist/*.whl

CMD python3 -m MY_MODULE

The important part here is adding the docker data folder generated by bdist_docker and installing your package:

ADD .docker_data /data
RUN pip3 install --no-index --find-links=/data/wheelhouse /data/dist/*.whl

Then you just your setup.py with bdist_docker as your command:

$ ./setup.py bdist_docker
